You could again with enough work!

I also lack the desire to work at it, I prefer the cookie approach lol.

Sooo this begs the question...
are these the guys to blame for the years of voodoo deaths? At least the 5.0 could be blamed on mass production. Guess they aren't really measuring anything.. just putting parts together. Was expecting more of an AMG style one man going through all the main parts and measuring clearances etc then assembling.

Where's my flame suite..

FYI, I talked the guy that has this listing (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Shelby-GT500-Size-Extra-Large/193079608429?hash=item2cf471046d:g:E6EAAOSwkGldapsj) into taking $20 in a "Buy it now" listing, with shipping included. If you don't want to mess with the bidding, you could offer this guy the same and see if bites.

I haven't purchased from eBay in a while but I used to do this as well. I cancelled my bid and used "make an offer" for his starting bid of $10 and got it for $14.39 with shipping

I saw someone with this shirt at the Tasca Ford car show last weekend and I immediately wanted one. Thanks for the tip to look on eBay.

Sweet man! Glad I could help!

Cool video, and I echo that the music is annoying; warning, watch it on mute. Anyway, I'm curious what the QC process is for these hand built engines, as they didn't show any of that in the video. Very cool none the less.

I have been to several tours of this line, this video gives a nice overall view but does not show any detail of the checking,measuring and matching parts that goes into these builds.by the builders. Each team can build maybe four a day so thats roughly 2 hours per engine.They start with the bare block,magneflux it and go from there. There are some sub assemblys already to go such as blower and intake. It is really interesting to watch. My last tour was in 2013, I don't know if they still do the tours like that.

This thing shares headers with a flat plane engine? Very surprised.

Great video, thanks for posting.

My question is, where did this guy get that shirt?! I want one!

I got one at the big Ford show on the east coast this year, Fords at Carlisle. Ford usually give out the same shirts at Barrett-Jackson.

I got mine for free at Barrett Jackson in January. They give them away at any event where Ford Performance has official presence. Fill out a survey, get a shirt.

If you want to see the real process of an Inspection & assembly check out the Hot Rod link at the start of the forum, the pictures and descriptions are very informing, and no music.

I couldn't help myself, the audio track was intolerable. So, I changed it and hopefully, it's now palatable to the ears. I also added a tad of sharpening for the "pahts." :-)

This is how I got my GT350 shirt. However, Ford didn't see fit to bring the GT500 to Reno this year during Hot August Nights like they did with the GT350 back in 2015. I was so disappointed.

The QC is at the end. Did it run without leaking. Good engine. LOL.
